Summary

I want everyone feeling discouraged to know that there are people working behind the scenes every day to make this country a better, safer and more democratic place. One of those unsung heroes is Mathew Littman, who is the Executive Director of 97Percent, bipartisan group who support the Second Amendment and responsible gun ownership, and the leader of The Working Group which brings the entertainment industry together with the most well-known leaders in politics, news, and non-profits to seek solutions to our country’s biggest problems. I think the thing to remember is just because we don’t see the efforts people are taking, we need to know that there really are thousands, tens of thousands, of people across this country fighting the good fight, and I want you to start thinking how you can be a part of getting America back on track.
